Chapter 104 - Banters, Beauty & Boy (1/2)

Meanwhile, at Ye Jie's end, there was a storm brewing. Not in the sky rather it was in Ye Jie's heart. Clad in only a bathrobe with shampoo all over his hair, he was running after his best friend as if his life depended on it.

"You turned the water off." It wasn't a question. It was not an unfound accusation either. It was a clear declaration.

"Aigoo! How can a poor baby like me, can do that?" He heard his best friend's pleasant voice filled with an innocence that could make anyone believe that she was being wrongly accused.

"I'm gonna murder you, Ru!" Ye Jie exclaimed with raging fury.

"First, you can't kill me, my best friend. Second, haha... Even if you could, you wouldn't because you love me so much. Third, Gosh! You have some serious abs game going on there." She waved her hand playfully looking at his exposed toned chest making Ye Jie even more furious.

"You! You!" Ye Jie was seething in a volcano ready to burn his best friend any moment.

"What me? I'm beautiful? I know that." She commented as she took off her baseball cap and let her Korean-Style messy layered short hair fall on her forehead. She raised her hand and touched her messy hair flipping them sidewards. She had red hair with copper highlights complimenting her green eyes perfectly. With her high cheekbones and mixed breed features along with golden skin, she was the perfection of beauty in herself. Her movements were so beautiful that even Ye Jie was stuck for a moment.

Ye Jie really wanted to argue with her but he knew, she wasn't narcissist as the world said about her. With her talents and beauty, she had the right to have this pride in herself.

"Turn the water on, I don't want to argue with you early in the morning." All of his anger vanished into thin air and he paced back to the bathroom to complete his bath.

After 20 minutes, when he came back to the living area of the presidential suite, he saw his best friend sitting in the balcony while looking out at the haze. She was wearing black jeans with a black tee and a side-zipper stylish hoodie on the outside. When she felt Ye Jie's presence, she muttered, "Cheapskate!"

Ye Jie heard that making him sigh loudly. "Are you calling me a cheapskate because I didn't let you those fish cakes last night?" He asked pacing up to her side and taking a seat opposite of hers. She ignored him completely and turned her head away with a humph. Ye Jie chuckled inwardly at her adorable actions. "I can't believe you, Ru. Do you know how much street food you ate last night? Street food is supposed to be inexpensive yet I paid almost a 1000$ for that food. That's how much you ate."

"I only asked for food and yet you didn't let me try those fish cakes. They looked so yummy dipped in that sauce." She was almost drooling just remembering it.

"Fine!" Ye Jie grumbled. "I'll take you out to eat as much fish cakes you can possibly eat. Even though I believe even the stall won't have enough fish cakes to satiate your hunger."

"Really? Okay!" She replied excitedly as her thin lips stretched showing her pearly white teeth. She completely disregarded his last sentence. It was not like there was going to be only one stall on the food street? Aye! She was rubbing her hands inwardly with an evil laugh.

Ye Jie made a call to his wife, Xu Mey right before his best friend, Ru. "Good morning, Baby!" His coquettish voice made Xu Mey's heart flutter.

"So, you decided to move from Cherry wife to Baby?" She asked completely disregarding the butterflies in her stomach.

Ye Jie chuckled at her question. "Why? Shouldn't do it?" He asked.

"I didn't say that." She replied softly.
